Awakening to Wellness: Spring Retreat with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and Special Guest
April 9–13, 2025 at Serenity Ridge and online on Zoom
As nature renews itself this spring, a unique opportunity for personal renewal awaits at the «Awakening to Wellness» retreat led by Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. This transformative four-day experience, scheduled for April 9-13, 2025, offers participants a chance to harmonize with nature’s rhythms while exploring ancient wisdom and modern science.
Held at the serene Serenity Ridge Retreat Center with an online option available via Zoom, the retreat brings together an impressive lineup of experts. Joining Rinpoche are Dr. Tawni Tidwell, the first Westerner certified as a Tibetan doctor; Dr. Danny Lewin, a sleep and circadian researcher; and Dr. Wenli Liu, an integrative medicine specialist with extensive experience in cancer treatment.
The retreat’s holistic approach combines meditation, movement, breath work, and nature connection. Participants will start their days with sunrise meditation and Tibetan yoga suitable for all mobility levels. The program includes forest bathing, nature walks, and evening bonfires to foster connection with natural elements. For those seeking additional wellness challenges, optional cold plunges and intermittent fasting are available.
What sets this retreat apart is its integration of traditional Tibetan practices with contemporary health science and practical, take-home knowledge. Presenters will share actionable information on sleep optimization, stress reduction, anxiety management, and energy rebalancing. We will also explore finding balance and healing through connection to nature. The retreat aims to empower participants to make healthier lifestyle choices that enhance overall wellbeing.
This event is intended for everyone, whether you have experience in meditation and wellness or are just beginning your journey.
For those looking to extend their transformative experience, a Tibetan Yoga Retreat with Alejandro Chaoul follows immediately after, with a free night’s stay offered to those registering for both events.
As we emerge from winter, this spring wellness retreat offers a timely reminder that by reconnecting with nature’s patterns and our own inner wisdom, we can discover new sources of vitality, peace, and joy.
Registration is now open for both in-person and online participation.
